@here kotlin noob trying to build a cross platform app for cafeteria management. Where would you recommend I start ?
o
I would recommend starting with analyzing the business processes and user needs 🙂
t
Done
Have user stories and such already
Building it out with Vuejs but now want to try building it with kotlin
What are the next steps as you see them?
j
stick to typescript on the frontend IMO, there's much less friction
But for the backend, Ktor is a good Kotlin option
t
Does Ktor play nice with a middleware like graphQL?
@Jared what is the difference between kotlin and ktor for a kotlin noob?
@Jared Why start with one over the other?
j
Not sure about the graphql since i haven't used it much
the distinction between Ktor and Kotlin is Ktor is a server written in Kotlin
you need to learn the language first before attempting to use Ktor IMO
